Finances and the Superbowl

I've been feeling rather stressed today due to the whole housing situation. While we can afford to build our house the way it's currently drawn, it doesn't mean that we should because it would stretch our finances and I'm not sure that I am comfortable with that. When I was younger (listen to how old I sound !) I would probably have given in and had it my way at any cost, but there are a lot of other things to think about now, such as Dexter. It may mean a redraw for us, ugh.

Today was the Superbowl and also my uncle's birthday. The 49ers faced off against the Ravens in New Orleans and the Ravens were kicking butt up until halftime (Beyonce performed and it was pretty good) .. then the lights went out in half the field and like my mom mentioned .. it's like mahjong .. once something happens like that, the luck shifts ! Sure enough, the second half was a lot more exciting and the 49ers nearly won .. but fell short.

Dexter's still been so moody ! Today was one of the worst days. We don't know if it's because he had to go poo (which he eventually did), but he fussed and cried all day. He even screamed when we took him for a walk in the Ergo .. first time our neighbors heard him !

About Me

After trying to conceive for 18 months, we were ecstatic to find out we were expecting identical twins ! We hoped for an uneventful pregnancy but much like conception, the pregnancy did not go as planned. We conquered obstacle after obstacle and was told at 20 weeks that we would lose one or both of our twins. But they held on ! At exactly 28 weeks, I was rushed to an emergency C-section and we welcomed Dexter weighing 930 grams (2 lb 1 oz) and Max weighing 770 grams (1 lb 10 oz) into our family. However, that was not the end of our heartache. Max had a brain bleed and other complications; after 42 agonizing (but blissful because we had him in our lives) days and two surgeries, Max passed away in my arms on August 21st at 3:37 PM. We miss our sweet Max every day. He always struggled to open his eyes to see us when visited every day and always had a gentle smile for us even though he was in pain. He fought for us until the end and we are thankful that we got to meet him.
After 12 weeks in the NICU, Dexter came home on my due date weighing 6 lbs 5 oz. Today, he is a healthy, happy baby who is the joy in our lives every day.
